Logseq today just (4 hours ago) released Version 9.10 So why am I so excited about this release that I am writing about it? It is because of one feature that I have been waiting for for so long… Smart Merge. Logseq checked all the boxes for me It is my main note taking app, my [[PKM]], and my [[second brain]]. There are so many more great things about Logseq, but when it comes down to the deal breakers these were high on my list and believe me I have tried many apps and I can’t think of any that can do all of these things as well as Logseq....

What would the last product you need to buy look like? The Last cup The Last shoe The Last bag The Last jacket The Last car The Last house? As a designer I am sad to think that design is causing more waste....

I’m going to Korea tomorrow and I am still not packed… So I don’t have time to post anything longer. Maybe I can share my packing checklist. Strangely enough, this is one of my most used templates! Compiled over time from my past mistakes. Every time I leave something behind and think, “I wish I had brought this on my trip…” I put it in this list. Very useful for me on every trip....

Are you the master of your own reality? Or are you a slave of your temptation? It used to be a philosophical question, but now it has become a more practical, technology question. Apple just announced the [[Vision Pro]]. And of course, everyone is jumping on the opportunity to give their two cents about Apple’s first stab at this new way of computing. It’s very noisy on the internet, but at least it’s exciting times again....

Where am I? Where am I going? Where do I want to be? I just turned 49 and I still don’t have a clear answer to these questions… Now I just accepted that my life is about wandering. I think J.R.R Tolkien and Adel both once said “Not all those who wander are lost.” Once I realized that is what I am good at, it doesn’t feel so bad. The book 📖 Delivered From Distraction described brains like mine as “Chronic wandering of the mind”....

“A Bicycle for the mind”. That’s what Steve Jobs called the computer back in the 90’s, because it was a tool that made our limited human mind more efficient. Now imagine, driving past the old bicycle on a new “self-driving car for your mind”. I think it’s time we get a little upgrade. Let’s think about thinking, just bear with me for a minute… We all have a lot of “knowledge work” to do these days....

When the price of homes you live in goes up, should you be happy that you are richer? Who is really benefiting from the higher price of homes? Maybe you are one of the lucky people who bought low and sold high. Maybe you got into the real estate game before a lot of other people and have a lot of properties that are making profit for you. You are the “Land Lord” why do we still call these people Lord anyways?...

Being sick sucks. There is nothing like feeling sick that drains any little motivation that I have left inside. Physically painful, no energy, no will Negative thought spiral Just overall making me feel bad about everything. I really am grateful for being generally healthy… My habit is barely propping me up. But it is working. The reason I am even writing this is because I have a system that I set up using Complice....

There has been no lack of AI anxiety going around. So let me just throw another idea out there. What if AI makes money? Of course it will be programmed to make money on its own. Of course it is already better at a lot of things than most people. Of course it will be better at doing everything even making money very soon. AutoGPT already demonstrated that when given a goal an AI program can figure out how to achieve that goal....
